alden Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 At this point i don't see any real huge "change the game" kind of stuff coming out. Maybe one or two but to be honest I enjoy the 100 or so smaller things that make the game even better. The base is there, just tweeks here and there to make it even better is great.

Akki Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Happy about the biography thing, and I expect there'll be some sort of scrollbar on long bios? Cause even now you can't read bios if they have a few line breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdWarrior Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This Extended Biographies thing might be a small feature, but it's pretty important to me. I've been secretly hoping for it for a while now. It'd be cool if the actual names of things, (promotions and locations in particular), could be a little longer as well. Good feature though, the more information the better. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alden Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I don't know why but i always like to update my wrestlers profiles when i hire them or win a major title or something like that. Alot of times the char limit is almost there already so you can't. I like this one alot. Not huge but good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladamire Dracos Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Yes Yes YES! I can't tell you the number of times the character limit has forced me to trim something I've worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's actually scary to me, though, is the sheer number of times some bio that I've come up with is exactly one space - the period at the end of a sentence - short. It's happened to me so many times since TEW 2004 that it's hard to believe it's a coincidence. Fantastic to have more room. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Sinister Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 All the new features sound like excellent additions, though I fear that the days of my ridiculous and carefree casual Global fed games may come to an end with the National Battle feature. Ah well. I guess that's what the editor is for... As I'm not a person who really enjoys computer games all that much in general, it blows my mind that I've been playing Adam's wrestling sims for something on the order of ten years now. You've come a long way from the days when I showed my appreciation by buying you a CD off your Amazon wish list, Adam. Kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ping von Erich Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Since worker bios were touched on, just a little suggestion for something that's always bugged me.. Workers have two bios.. one, their base bio that reads the same regardless of their under contract or not, then one when their get signed. I've always hated when both are identical, their base bio talking about what they're doing "now".. thus seeing out of date and useless once the game world progresses and that worker, say, leaves the fed he was associated with. I always thought the base bios of each worker should be very vague in terms of storyline and promotion affiliation, so that if, say, Rich Money leaves SWF and gets signed by TCW, his bio will still make sense and be relevant. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can always be edited anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I`'ve 2 thoughts about all this new features. The first is that if all this features are developed correctly and have a good interactuation with player, the TEW08 characters will be the more complex and "livest" of any sport manager. You will have to care about his talent, his potential, his personality, his habits, how this factors interactuate, and how develops. The "inmersion potential" of this amazing. Of course there is the big step from the good ideas to a good implementation, but I've a great faith in Adam to tackle this task. The second thought is that making a mod with all this tools have to be a big challenge. I don't want to discourage anybody "the modder the merrier" but it big. Also, with all this changes I think that pass a 07 mod to 08 will be incomplete, so I think that should be better to wait the editor to advance in the right direction My thoughts.

Mr T Jobs To Me Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I can now finally track Rip Chord's drinking habit through the years, and here's hoping that B.S.S. is the most serious Juicer in the Cornellverse. This feature is so awesome I just crapped my adult diaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Adam, will there be any links with this and a worker's personality? Like, if their stats are more negative will they be more likely to get into drug use, or is there no connection at all?

Moe Hunter Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Awesome stuff in this new feature. Egotistical guys might be less inclined to listen to people telling them to stop drinking, etc. I hope there's an option somewhere for rehab (which of course doesn't ALWAYS work, as in real life). Also, is "Legal Problems" still around? I noticed it wasn't on this list. I would imagine the same sort of scale could be implemented for the seriousness of the crimes they're likely to commit. Also works for previous criminals (Booker T, MVP, etc) who aren't criminals now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in part. Seems like Adam's really working hard on making the characters become richer and building the immersion factor. With a feature like this, it seems like there's going to have to be more top-down communication between us the player and our rosters. More communication with our rosters = very good thing. At the very least, this seems like something that could be a good excuse to check in with portions of your roster on off days. Which leads to less sense of dead days between shows.

shipshirt Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I love how the characters are becoming more complex. It's only going to make for more interesting management and interactions. Jimmy Snuka always seemed to kick it within a year or two in any DOTT game I've played...it will be nice to have his drug use increase without him dying all the time by 1985 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Hunter Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hazah, TV/PPV Product separation! This is great news :) I know there were some people who also wanted to change their actual product settings (having more Hardcore for ECW, Lucha for SD, Risque for Raw, for example), but honestly I think that's basically covered as the system is, I may be wrong, but I don't believe it's a necessary thing to bring about.

unicron Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have to say, it seems a lot of the new features so far are geared towards real world mods without much love for the CVerse. I'm sure we'll see some more entries in coming weeks but I hope Tommy and the gang get some new features to play with soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that almost any Sports Entertainment-style fed, Real Worlds, C-Verse, or otherwise, would have differences in events and TV shows. Other features so far have mostly applied to the workers themselves, and I don't see how that applies only to the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Seperating product definitions between TV and PPV wasn't something I needed, but hot damn am I excited it's coming to 08. Hot Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
